Vitality score

Vitality score 26.4/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 27 % of the 15,259 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate

An average of 62 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LA ROUVIERE weather station, 4.2 km away at 79 m; the village itself is at 114 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at DEAUX, 13.3 km away at 185 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 71 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 891 mm of rain a year, spread over 67 days — about 13.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LA ROUVIERE, 4.2 km away at 79 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

39 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 250,000 € — 2,100 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 178,500 € — 1,389 € per m². ^[12]

The median across Gard is 2,338 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
